The Palestinians in Kufur Qaddoum have been holding weekly protests for the fourteenth consecutive years, demanding the army to reopen the main road which was completely blocked to enable easy access to the colonists, living in Kidumim illegal colony, which was built o illegally-confiscated Palestinian lands.
